When to stop social learning from a predecessor in an information-foraging task by Hidezo Suganuma, Aoi Naito, Kentaro Katahira, Tatsuya Kameda

“…Although intergenerational transmission of information is ubiquitous, little is known about when and how newcomers switch from learning loyally from preceding models to exploring independently. Using a behavioural experiment, we investigated how social information available from a preceding demonstrator affects the timing of becoming independent and individual performance thereafter. …”

A sarcopenia prediction model based on the calf maximum muscle circumference measured by ultrasound by An Wei, Yan Zou, Zhen-Hua Tang, Feng Guo, Yan Zhou

“…The prediction performance of the models was assessed using sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) and compared with independent predictors. Results We found that patient age, albumin level (ALB), brachioradialis muscle thickness (BRMT), gastrocnemius lateral head muscle thickness (Glh MT), and calf maximum muscle circumference (CMMC) were independent predictors of sarcopenia in hospitalized older patients. …”
